It looks like my wife of almost nine years wants to leave me because of my anxiety and depression. I was kind of a blind sided by this and feel tons of hurt and wondering why. I have been dealing with this condition for the past 3 years now and never did I sense she would think about leaving me beca...

Karl, Sorry to hear about the result of a terrible year and last couple of weeks. It's hard when someone stops loving you for little or no reason. I've been there and it hurts. I hope the kids will be alright and that you and your wife can both lead happier lives in the future. It's never easy and w...

Weekends have not been good for me lately. I work M-F from 7 to 5:30 and on Friday nights I cover local high school football for an area newspaper as a part time job. By the time the games get over and get the article off to the paper, it's 11:00 or later and it takes a while for me to get to sleep....

For the past couple of weeks I have been getting weird sensations on the left side of my head that come and go. It's just above the ear and it feels like a pulsing sensation or something to that effect. I sometimes rub it, thinking it'll go away, but it doesn't. I'm not sure if it's the anxiety and ...

I break it down to a 2-day trip each way. But I've been worring about it for the past month or so since I confirmed my reservation and each d...

I'm sure there are fellow suffers out there like myself when it comes to constipation. I have had it since the beginning of this year and outside of a upper and lower GI/colon scan i have learned to deal with it. Mostly caused by my anxiety, stress and medicine is what the doctors say and for the mo...

I am so sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. It seems like it's one thing after another. My mind is going non stop, worrying about having this or that and trying to get my mind to move on from the negative thoughts. I'll have a symptom that hangs around for a while then gone for a bit and then ...

Has anyone been on mirtazapine? I just started this week.

This weekend and couple of friends and I are going on a weekend trip to the NASCAR race in Bristol, TN (about 10-11 hours away) and staying 2 nights. I've always wanted to go to a race and I want to have fun, but I keep worrying that something bad might happen and I won't be able to get to a hospita...
